next up, maid of honor and sister, Marilyn. She was also an inspiration for different pieces for each bridesmaid, because she has veerrry sensitive ears and can’t wear earrings. So I knew she would need a necklace. And once she picked out her dress, I started thinking about what kind.

Marilyn loved her dress. It was her favorite of all the ones, all the designers, she tried on. She kept telling me “I want the pink dress!”, and I kept reminding her it would be silver, not pink. but she loved it anyway.

With a sweetheart neckline, I wanted something that would fill the space well, so I created a really long necklace, silver with peridot coin shaped stones interspersed, that she could wrap as many times as she wanted to create a layered look.

I love it. She loves it.
